The study also revealed the top views across the UK, in which the Giant’s Causeway claimed ninth place - with the view from the summit of Mount Snowdon in Wales taking number one spot, followed by Three Sisters in the Scottish Highlights and Stonehenge rounding off the top three.

Furthermore, the study pinpointed the five key factors that make up a quintessentially British view, with people in Northern Ireland jointly choosing rolling countryside and rugged coastline as their top factor (28%), followed by country villages (20%), historical landmarks (15%) and coastal towns and fishing ports (15%).

Sam Grant, marketing director at Samsung Electronics UK and Ireland, said: “We wanted to mark the launch of the new Samsung Galaxy S8, with its unique and groundbreaking Infinity Display, by celebrating the beautiful views in our country of mountains, highlands, beaches and urban skylines that are best enjoyed unconfined.”

Samsung has celebrated the greatest views by commissioning a new photography project from Matthew Cattell – Britain’s reigning Landscape Photographer of the Year - which will be shot entirely on a Galaxy S8. Matthew is travelling the length of the UK in March and April to capture a series of stunning shots at locations which were named in the study.

Selected views are also being framed by the giant Infinity Display on a 7x3m scale model of the Galaxy S8, which is being taken on tour throughout April to locations which feature in the top 20.
